I like my vapes very saturated so I put a little less cotton than normal. Flooding is an issue, although I now fixed it in the Zeus with Muji. Cotton Bacon is shredding on me???

Could always try Rayon. Wick normally and then it shrinks some when juiced.
I've only used it a little (have years worth of Muji), but some swear by it.

Yes, I'm getting some next week (vaping resellers sell 3 feet at 2,5 bucks!!! A steal!!!) Is somebody coming to Argentina in the next few days?

Amazon has 50 foot boxes of Rayon for $5. They'll ship to Argentina.
Or just get it at a local beauty supply shop.

Problems is the local customs situation. Further down the road I could throw a pack into a larger shipment. We can only get through 5 shipments a year, so all buys have to be carefully made. Long story. No beauty shops carrying rayon. Maybe I can always use some silica wick :) found a large stash of 2.5 mm yesterday!

Sry, had to run an errand and just got back to it. Ok, am trying the coil that came with the tank even tho no idea what the wire is. Going to assume its not TC. Went to test ohm and dry burn and I have blue coils??? Can you tell me what kind of wire does that? Of course, one is never suppose to dry burn TI coils, so I never have. So do you know what type of coil is being sent with the tank?
I don't want to continue and have coils that I have ruined.
:)

Yep, not TC.

I'm amazed you got protection warnings. I've only had mods either willing to fire non-TC wire or kick me out of TC.

5 international shipments a year or 5 vape shipments a year?

EVERYTHING. It's an issue. Fortunately I travel to England twice a year, I have my cousin living in Italy and a courier/PO Box service in Miami that gather the packages and send them all toghether. Works well until now.

Now that stinks!!

Can't believe they don't have the Rayon rope that is used in perms there.

I'll send you a couple of feet in an envelope. Surely ordinary mail doesn't count.

I'm interested because I do like the OBS Engine, the new Smok X Tank, and the Cleito Exo. The "3D airflow" might serve to increase flavor, and decrease flooding.

I have the obs engine V2 and I think it actually loses flavor because the air has to go down Circle through and come back out bottom airflow just goes in and up and out and doesn't lose as much flavor my opinion on top air flow but what do I know

I was using a vaporesso Polar mod. Those really kick it in the tail.....Nice mod, but not sure if I would want to use it all the time. I have vaped almost 8 years as a middle of the road vaper, not quite mtl and not quite dl(by their definitions). I like more air than what mtl vapers do and not too much air as to make me cough like dl vapers. So this tank is quite airy, on that mod will kick some serious tail.

I put the newly coiled tank on the Theron this time. Nice tank. So far flavor is good but not jumping out at me yet. Air flow wide open but gonna turn it down some and working my way up in wattage but don't want a hot vape. ohms 0.33

A pita to put the coils in but I can get used to it...first time is alway a challenge.

LOL

That's because the Polar fire at full wattage for the first 1/4 of a second then drops down to what you have it set for.

This was my 3rd time. I wasn't sure about the wicking because it had more wick flavor, but it's still drinking the liquid fast.

Yes it does and I have a couple of burnt up coils to prove it.
It is manageable tho. Just have to play with it a while. Unless you are familiar with the vaporesso menus on their other mods, you are kinda left to figure it out by trial and error as no instructions come with it.
LOL

If you go into the menu there will be 3 variable wattage modes. VW H, VW N, and VW S (Hard, Normal, and Soft). If you set it to VW S (Soft) it will stop doing that.

The Zeus is a very thirsty tank. You can slow it some with more wick, but then it mutes the flavor some and you can get dry hits if you chain vape it.

Don't worry! Everything gets scanned. Kudos to this new government, for the past 2 years getting equipment has become a nightmare. But Life always finds a way! 75 pesos is less than a burger, but nevertheless is a steal.

So you're saying a guy could make a killing smuggling mass quantities of vape gear into Argentina?
Hmmmm.........

J/K :p
